Retractable tie downs (TOR)
Removing the TOR HD Quattro
Express wheelchair tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove occupant
restraint, as instructed in the relevant
manual.
1.
Release the tension in the rear
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 1B), and extending the
webbing to allow the karabiner to
be removed from the wheelchair
frame. If the webbing is particularly
tight, it may be necessary to
slightly ’tension’ the webbing with
the hand wheel, (Fig. 1C), while
pressing the yellow button, to
remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
2. Lift the ATF yellow plunger fully
and slide back to align the ATF feet
with the rail cut-outs. Lift away
from the rail. Repeat operation with
the other side and store safely.

TOR HD Quattro Express
Rail floor - rear wheelchair tie-down
1.
Install each rear retractor with the karabiners facing outboard, (Fig. 1A). Align
the ATF feet with the cut out sections of the rail. Press down on the ribbed part
of the ATF, (Fig. 1A), and push firmly until the yellow plunger drops and locks
into the rail. Install the second tie-down, ensuring that each fitting is opposite
each other.
IMPORTANT: Check that the clips are fully engaged on both sides.
2. Extend the webbing and attach the karabiners around the wheelchair’s
securement points with the karabiner gates facing outwards, (Fig. 8). Some
wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 9).
Note: It is not
necessary to press the yellow button. Webbing can be extended from the reel
without pressing the yellow button if the lock label, (Fig. 3), is NOT visible. The
yellow button must be pressed if extending webbing with the label in view,
(Fig. 1B).
3. Slack in the webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel to create an
angle of around 30° to 45° and within the rear view zone, (Fig. 7).
4. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 1C), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
IMPORTANT: the yellow label must
be visible, (Fig. 3), to ensure that the reel is locked off.
5. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express webbing is approximately of the same
length.
